3 Fonteinen Framboos is the result of macerating hand-picked whole
raspberries on young lambic for at least four months, in a proportion
of one kilogram of fruit per litre of lambic. The raspberry lambic is then
blended again with more young lambic to obtain a minimum intensity
of 35% fruit, and is bottled immediately afterwards. These bottles
are then stored in our cellars for at least five months so
that the raspberry lambic can develop into a beautiful, traditional,
and re ned Framboos. With a abundant forest fruit nose
as it warms in the glass, 3 Fonteinen Framboos will age perfectly
but may lose some of the vibrant colours and forest fruit aromas.
This un ltered and unpasteurised lambic is all-natural with no arti cial
juices, syrups, or sugars added. Traditional Lambic is living, cultural
heritage rooted in the Zenne valley!

4600th rating. 2011 bottle at RBWG Grand Tasting. Thanks to GT for bringing this and Graeme with the assist. Pours a cloudy red brown with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is strong raspberry seed and light funk. Thin mouth, tart raspberry, funk, nice sourness throughout, really enjoyed this one!

2018 edition in a beautiful designed, 375ml green bottle with cork and crown. Wow, this is pretty different, and not the typical Belgium Raspberry Lambic. It takes some time getting use to it, but this unique fruity one grows well. The no sugar, artificial juices or syrup added is what does it here. No fake aromas and taste. Hazy amber-orange, small light-beige head, low stay. Aromas of raspberry, their seeds, sourness and wooden hints. So yes, very woody-seedy. Decent sour notes in the middle of the taste, lingers. Same in the flavours, but a little better balanced. Quite an interesting Framboise Lambic.

21 August 2021. At Gents Bierfestival. Cheers to the Ghent beer crew! 2018, s. 18/19, No° 74. Hazy red, no head. Aroma of ripe raspberry, strawberry, coulis, redcurrant, lemon, leather, wood, vinegar. Taste has very sour raspberry, berries & lemon, funky & acidic, bit cheesy. Tart, sour, mouth-puckering finish, lots of red fruit, tannins, vinegar, sour red wine. Medium body, oily texture, flat carbonation. Very rich fruitiness. Massive.

2014 vintage at the Lambik-O-droom, served in Stolzle glasses. Tasting date: August 28, 2021 (so 7 years old.) Headless, flat, strawberry-hued pour with a clay-orange cast. It reminds me of very old Rioja red wine (don't wanna be too bombastic, but I've tasted up to 80 y.o. Rioja vintages, so trust me here.) Very intense aromas of sour wild berries: obviously, raspberry; but also strawberry, redcurrant, sour cherry and even pomegranate (which is not a berry, you're right.) There's also Scotch tape, vynil, balsamic vinegar, yogurt... And more: pickles, gherkins, green olives, etc. Mouthfeel starts with a reminiscence of carbonation and a bone-dry onset. Super-sour midpalate, though never aggressive: in fact, texture is delicate, silky and smooth. Medium to low body. Umami-salty-sour-and-dry finish, albeit bitterless. Very long-lasting, with an aftertaste of red flowers, particularly hibiscus. Great, but here's a caveat: it's a complex one, even complicated if you're not into lambic, and it's quite expensive. Don't splash cash if you haven't acquired the taste for spontaneous fermentation. If you already have, then sure: go for it!

Bought from LCBO via the good folks at Gleemer Imports who have to deal with that crazy. Pours a cloudy blood orange pink-with orange undertones. No head, some big lazy carb bubbles. Nose of raspberry jam, some biting vinegar sour and a little oak? Aggressive biting aserbic sour on the first sip. Smooths out with raspberry, citrus, vanilla with the aserbic bite that lingers.
